I must have skipped this video several times before watching out of boredom. The heading was miss leading . I was thinking here is another post of 15 items you need to purchase. I also like to read the comments and make sure the clip isn’t AI generated now. However when I started to watch the author came up with a really good list of preps for beginners that I thought was worth sharing. Some products aren’t available in Australia of course, while other items I may have suggested other brands. So do your own research. All in all a good start for people looking into what to store for emergencies.
I must have redesigned this fire lighting pouch several times now. In an attempt to get it to the stage of being the most practical for the way I use it. I still swap items in and out depending on what Id like to practice for the day in terms of flint and steel or man made tinder’s. The core elements remain the same. I don’t like having items in my pockets. If I’m going to carry a SAK Id also place this on my belt in another pouch.
have finally attached the ferro rod to the pouch instead of a belt or pants loop.combined itemstwo types of cordage. Left 30 feet of number 56 bankline and Right 2 meters of lawn mower starter cordreplaced the tobacco tin with an Altoids to decrease size.still deciding on which bearing block to carry.
ITEMS:
Princeton tec Headlamp
2 types of cordage. The 30 feet of number 36 bankline is disposable line the other 2 meters of lawn mower starter cord is for utilizing in a firebow. (better grip, than paracord.)
Bearing blocks for firebow
Exotac Candle
Fallkniven DC4 Sharpener
Trekker Butane lighter. Id rather one of these to a BIC, however I always have a BIC in my pocket.
In the Altoids tin:
Sewing needle
Wazzoo fire card
Fresnel lens
magnesium rod
bees wax firestarters
Uberleben tinder wick
Im amazed I could fit many of the items in an Altoids tin. The char cloth is for the Fresnel lens. I came to the conclusion I only needed the minimal amount of man made tinders for emergencies. I prefer using natural tinders. I still have to dig out a ranger band to place around the tin, the only disadvantage of not using a tobacco tin.
The killing of the United Health Group CEO Brian Thompson may have been the tip of the ice berg when CEOs of major corporations are making millions but the corporations themselves are slowly killing people. I would prefer people find the investments of elites and boycott them. Hurt them where they feel it in their wallets. However I can see a time where CEOs will be actively hunted. I’m predicting mass riots the way things are headed within Australia.

www.homelessnessaustralia.org.au Homelessness Facts 2023 FACT SHEET On any given night, 122,494 people in Australia are experiencing homelessness (ABS Census 2021). One in seven people experiencing homelessness are children under 12 (ABS Census 2021). 23 per cent of people experiencing homelessness (almost one in 4) are children and young people between 12 and 24 (ABS Census 2021). One in five people experiencing homelessness are Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people (ABS Census 2021). Homelessness is not “rooflessness”. Only 6.2 per cent of people without a home are sleeping rough. The majority of homelessness is hidden – people in crisis accommodation, rooming houses, insecure housing, overcrowded dwellings or couch surfing.
Elites are rorting the system, not just the billionaires but all of them. In a way to establish more and more control. Through the power grid,food prices, housing costs. Prices of food have almost doubled yet the companies are posting profits of a billion dollars.
Corruption at the highest levels.
